wait, did you finally see it? how many people in the theater with you?
i never did go although "virtual reality goonies" is a more appealing sales pitch than most of the "imagine your favorite IP, all jammed in a blender!" ledes

I accept this being called the worst thing he directed that I saw since ... Jurassic Park 2?

It was the next-to-last night at the Lincoln Square, I think, there were at least a couple dozen there.
I liked some of the image juggling and the henchman with the sore neck, but ultimately, I don't give a shit in VR movies cuz -- I don't get it, it's not real! Who cares? It's not worse than the DiCaprio-Nolan thing.

morbs, by my tally you posted to this thread 75 times before seeing the film, mostly chiding us for having opinions on it or its source material before seeing what it would be in the hands of spielberg, not saying that means you now owe us a longform review or a thoroughgoing engagement with the substance of the preceding discussion but perhaps keep this in mind for the next "anticipating" thread

tons of posts by everyone b4 the film was released
as usual the film itself did not dominate the discussion, but rather Spielberg is the Worst Ever (ilx gonna ilx)

Absolutely no one itt thread said Spielberg is the worst ever. As you well know.
But he totally is.

Well, Spielberg is the second worst, after (barf) black and white.

love you morbs but have noooo idea how you got "spielberg is the worst ever" from this thread, p. sure "cline is the worst ever" followed by "fanboys are the worst ever" were the through-lines but maybe i missed some posts in there
― noel gallaghah's high flying burbbhrbhbbhbburbbb (Doctor Casino), Thursday, 17 May 2018 14:21 (six years ago) link
Spielberg isn't interesting enough to be the worst ever.
― Ward Fowler, Thursday, 17 May 2018 14:22 (six years ago) link
lol waht
iirc the tenor of the thread was more along the lines of 'why is spielberg lowering himself to adapting a truly execrable book'

Saying that Jaws is far and away Spielberg's best film seems to annoy the Spielbergists here, but it is, and nothing else he's directed has come close. Spielberg obv deserves a lot of the credit for Jaws, but I also think the historical moment - Watergate, the end of Viet Nam - the intensity of the production, and the input of Milius and Shaw, all factor in very heavily too.

Nascent works, both.
RPO was never gonna work for me, as I hate what little I know of "gamer" culture, but there's much in that Pinkerton article Eric posted I find valid -- that pop culture now just replicates the past endlessly, because none of it ever goes away, just to its corner of cyberspace/streaming.
